Hello, geekzone people!
I just lost my whole post since of this bloody error and am so pissed off!
I am sorry if this message breaks the Terms of Use and / or is in the wrong section - but I had to post this fast.
(Sorry for any spelling errors and hard-to-read text, as I am only 15 years old.)
I am having a majour internet error with my internet. My router Thomson TG585v7 (I think it's that) keeps loosing connection. When I try and connect to http://192.168.1.254/ it says that the internet is dissconnected - so I click "Connect" and I get 2 messages: 1 saying "... Dissconnected by user" and the other saying "Your DSL connection is down, verify that your..." - my router IS correctly connected, so that cannot be the issue. I have noticed though it does dissconnect more when people use our phone as we just bought these new phones - but new neighbours have moved in also and brought their internet. It cannot be the weather because my friends have the same internet + router (we use telecom.co.nz) [I have the 40GB plan, they have 10GB] and their internet never does this. I also have noticed that when it IS online, it is not as fast as my friends, still loads YouTube movies slow (not as slow as dial-up when you waste all of your GB's) and other websites take a long time, like this website took me around 20 seconds to wait for a reply but then it loaded fast.
When I try load a page when it is offline it is the ROUTER saying the error message - as windows still thinks we have internet access - it says "The requested host could not be reached..." or "... check that your thomson gateway is correctly connected .. error. So can you please tell me how I could fix this? It would be greatly helpful.
Many thanks,
Dallas Mitchell.
